Christmas Special: Episode 1
For the very first time, in a special week of programmes, Animal Park is heading to Longleat Safari Park for Christmas. Kate Humble and Ben Fogle catch every magical moment as the keepers ensure all their creatures are cosy and prepared for the festive season, which is looking busier than ever.\n\nOne of the biggest early Christmas presents of 2019 was the birth of two Siberian tiger cubs – the first to be born at the park in over 20 years. At this most wonderful time of the year, Rusty and Yuki take their first steps out into the park. It is a nerve wracking moment for the keepers as the precious cubs come face to face with cars for the first time.\n\nThe arrival of the Great Hall’s giant Christmas tree is one of the most exciting but logistically challenging days of the year for the team at Longleat House. Meanwhile, Jean Johansson helps the keepers give Sprout the porcupine his very own Christmas tree, and Kate prepares a delicious Christmas dinner for the gorillas.
